to have specific set of files to be moved from one branch to another

[Sayan Talukder]

i need to deploy a single component to qa and then to production from my dev org

ideally we first merge the changes to qa branch after extraction from dev to bitbucket and then merge the qa to prod to deploy to prod instead can we have a pipeline create such that only selected components should be moved from dev branch to qa and then from qa to prod.

Hi Sayan,

I would like to understand your scenario a little better. What do you mean by 

" we first merge the changes to qa branch after extraction from dev to bitbucket "

Do you want to achieve selective deployment of components or selective merging of components to qa and prod branches?

[Sayan Talukder]

HI Ulrich,

Yes, i want to have a selective merge of components either by raising a pull request or any other possible way.

Have you considered separate repos and deploy pipeline for each component (microservice?)? To me that seems to give you best flexibility.

we have 8 prod environments listed under the same project targeting different codebases in bitbucket ,if i have multiple repositories just for one environment won't it make things more complex?

in the current infrastructure i have a single repository  mapped to a prod environment and each repository has a prod ,qa and dev branch

developer branch is to pull changes for dev org into bitbucket, merge it to qa and then deploy the changes to qa environment using qa branch 

we deploy using orchestration platform that allows me to do selective component deployment

now when i want to merge the same code from qa to prod branch i could see additional components listed in my pr because some other dev team is already moved their changes to qa branch but not yet planned to move to production.

how could i get rid of those additional components from my pr and just merge my set of components to release
